Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments Financial Instruments at Fair Value The table below compares the fair value of loans receivable and asset-backed notes to their contractual balances for the periods shown: June 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 (in thousands) Unpaid Principal Balance Fair Value Unpaid Principal Balance Fair Value Assets Loans receivable - personal loans $ 2,656,551 $ 2,714,410 $ 2,824,342 $ 2,853,186 Loans receivable - credit cards — — 111,145 109,166 Total Loans Receivable at Fair Value $ 2,656,551 $ 2,714,410 $ 2,935,487 $ 2,962,352 Credit cards receivable held for sale 89,713 55,720 — — Liabilities Asset-backed notes 1,648,456 1,583,088 1,874,406 1,780,005 The Company calculates the fair value of the asset-backed notes using independent pricing services and broker price indications, which are based on quoted prices for identical or similar notes, which are Level 2 input measures. The Company primarily uses a discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of Level 3 instruments based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. This model uses inputs that are inherently judgmental and reflect management’s best estimates of the assumptions a market participant would use to calculate fair value. The following tables present quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used for the Company’s Level 3 fair value measurements for Loans Receivable at Fair Value. The personal loans receivable balance at fair value as of June 30, 2024, consists of $2,578.9 million of unsecured personal loans receivable and $135.5 million of secured personal loans receivable.

(2) As of June 30, 2024, the Company determined the fair value of the credit card receivables held for sale based on the terms outlined in the non-binding letter of intent. The Company has derivative instruments in connection with its bank partnership program with Pathward, N.A. related to excess interest proceeds it expects to receive on loans retained by Pathward, N.A. Based on the agreement underlying the bank partnership program, for all loans originated and retained by Pathward, Pathward receives a fixed interest rate. The Company bears the risk of credit loss and has the benefit of any excess interest proceeds after satisfying various obligations under the agreement. The fair value of the derivative instrument as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, were $11.4 million and $9.3 million, respectively. The underlying cash flows as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, were $14.2 million and $12.2 million, respectively. The following table presents quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used for the Company’s Level 3 fair value measurements for derivative instruments presented within Other Assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited): June 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 Low High Weighted Average Low High Weighted Average Remaining cumulative charge-offs 0.98% 33.81% 9.90% 1.09% 30.38% 10.56% Remaining cumulative prepayments 0.00% 2.71% 0.61% 0.01% 3.89% 0.92% Average life (years) 0.37 1.97 1.64 0.36 2.00 1.64 Discount rate 17.78% 17.78% 17.78% 17.00% 17.00% 17.00% Fair value adjustments related to financial instruments where the fair value option has been elected are recorded through earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Certain unobservable inputs may (in isolation) have either a directionally consistent or opposite impact on the fair value of the financial instrument for a given change in that input. When multiple inputs are used within the valuation techniques for loans, a change in one input in a certain direction may be offset by an opposite change from another input. For personal loans receivable, the Company developed an internal model to estimate the fair value of loans receivable held for investment. To generate future expected cash flows, the model combines receivable characteristics with assumptions about borrower behavior based on the Company’s historical loan performance. These cash flows are then discounted using a required rate of return that management estimates would be used by a market participant. The Company tested the unsecured personal loan fair value model by comparing modeled cash flows to historical loan performance to ensure that the model was complete, accurate and reasonable for the Company’s use. The Company also engaged a third party to create an independent fair value estimate for the Loans Receivable at Fair Value, which provides a set of fair value marks using the Company’s historical loan performance data and whole loan sale prices to develop independent forecasts of borrower behavior. On June 21, 2024, the Company entered into a nonbinding letter of intent with a third-party to sell the credit card receivable portfolio originated under the Company's credit card program. Following the decision to sell the credit card receivable portfolio the Company used the agreed upon sale price to determine the fair value. Prior to this decision, the Company used historical data to derive assumptions about certain loan portfolio characteristics such as principal payment rates, interest yields and fee yields. Similar to the model used for personal loans receivable, the Company engaged a third party to create an independent fair value estimate, which provides a range of fair values that are compared for reasonableness. For the derivative, the Company uses a base set of cash flows derived from historical data and management assumptions. From this base set of cash flows, funds that are projected to be released to the Company according to the contractual terms outlined in the waterfall agreement are calculated on an aggregate basis then discounted at a rate that is representative of equity yield. The table below presents a reconciliation of Loans Receivable at Fair Value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, (in thousands) 2024 2023 2024 2023 Balance – beginning of period $ 2,841,525 $ 3,044,478 $ 2,962,352 $ 3,175,449 Principal disbursements 678,040 723,751 1,262,202 1,397,686 Principal and interest payments from members (591,964) (594,856) (1,187,997) (1,216,827) Other loan sales (19,234) (56,378) (54,091) (94,588) Gross charge-offs (101,545) (115,200) (204,582) (222,606) Credit card receivables reclassified as held for sale (55,720) — (55,720) — Net increase (decrease) in fair value (36,692) 14,186 (7,754) (23,133) Balance – end of period $ 2,714,410 $ 3,015,981 $ 2,714,410 $ 3,015,981 As of June 30, 2024, the aggregate fair value of loans that are 90 days or more past due and in non-accrual status was $4.7 million, and the aggregate unpaid principal balance for loans that are 90 days or more past due was $34.2 million. As of December 31, 2023, the aggregate fair value of loans that are 90 days or more past due and in non-accrual status was $5.2 million, and the aggregate unpaid principal balance for loans that are 90 days or more past due was $41.5 million. Financial Instruments Disclosed But Not Carried at Fair Value The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair values of financial assets and liabilities disclosed but not carried at fair value and the level within the fair value hierarchy: June 30, 2024 Carrying value Estimated fair value Estimated fair value (in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets Cash and cash equivalents $ 72,871 $ 72,871 $ 72,871 $ — $ — Restricted cash 163,765 163,765 163,765 — — Loans held for sale (Note 5) 502 520 — — 520 Liabilities Accounts payable 9,872 9,872 9,872 — — Secured financing (Note 8) 156,696 156,617 — 156,617 — Asset-backed borrowings at amortized cost (Note 8) (1) 836,659 840,659 — 352,046 488,613 Acquisition and corporate financing (Note 8) 251,392 247,890 — 247,890 — (1) As of June 30, 2024, the Company estimates the carrying value of the Level 3 other asset-backed borrowings at amortized cost to approximate their fair value as the underlying cash flows and associated assumptions are reviewed and updated each period.

The Company uses the following methods and assumptions to estimate fair value: • Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and accounts payable ‑ The carrying values of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and accounts payable, approximate Level 1 fair values of these financial instruments due to their short-term nature. • Loans held for sale ‑ The fair values of loans held for sale are based on a negotiated agreement with the purchaser. • Secured financing, acquisition and corporate financing ‑ The fair values of the secured financing, and acquisition and corporate financing facilities have been calculated using discount rates equivalent to the weighted-average market yield of comparable debt securities, which is a Level 2 input measure. • Asset-backed borrowings at amortized cost ‑ The fair values of the asset-backed borrowings at amortized cost include both securitizations carried at amortized cost and secured borrowings. We obtain indicative pricing on comparable debt securities for securitizations carried at amortized cost, which is a Level 2 input measure. Fair values of secured borrowings included in asset-backed borrowings at amortized cost have been calculated by discounting the contractual cash flows at the interest rate the Company estimates such arrangement would bear if executed in the current market, which is a Level 3 input measure. There were no transfers in or out of Level 3 assets and liabilities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2023. |
